Depression takes a toll on many fronts: it saps energy, generates low self-worth, creates problems in relationships, diminishes productivity and generally obscures the positive aspects of life.

A combination of psychotherapy and appropriate medications usually has the best results. Please don't suffer alone.

Depression affects many individuals at some point in their lives. Not only can depression affect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, it can also impact the body physically. Lisa uses a variety of approaches to treat depression, including Hypnotherapy and EMDR.

Depression feels like a deep dark hole that you can't possibly see a way of getting out. Perhaps you have been slowly sliding in for years as life stressors and challenges built up, or maybe it has been a rapid decline with something unexpected knocking you off course. My approach to working with depression includes working towards small, manageable steps to help you feel more confident in yourself and your abilities. Therapy will be like dropping down a ladder into the hole - the path is there and I will help you learn how to climb each rung to get back out again. By the end of therapy, you will find that you can laugh more, have more energy, and enjoy life again.

Grey Matters International, Inc. and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D. handles depression and other emotional disorders in a very unique way. Most of therapy or counseling processes utilize validation, unconditional positive regard, and reframing as common techniques to get someone to heal from their depression. Though this can be helpful, it rarely fixes the core problem behind it and for tough cases we then refer them usually to a psychiatrist for medication which can have tons of side effects. Instead, why not try a natural and arguably more effective way to not just change your mind, but change the brain--where the depression is rooted. Contact us at kevin@kevinflemingphd.com.
